On a separate notes I’ve tried this Cyrus red blend, and really like it. Wonder if you had tasted it and your thoughts, if you have not, give it a try.

Sorry for the confusion the Caymus is not as strong as most single vinyard cabernet as I prefer. It is a blend different Cabernet grapes from eight separate appellations that create a more supple, rich wine with a lot of texture. I have an Alexander Valley Silver Oak collection 2009-2017 but she doesn't care for the wine as much as Caymus, unless we decant it for at least an hour.

I'll give Cyrus a try as we have not tried it. Thanks for the tip!
